“Many of these films owe their origins to dramatic events of the last century, however, since that time, tremendous progress has been made on many fronts. Thanks to modern efforts to control emissions from transportation and stationary sources, people are no longer dropping dead from air pollution. But other problems are emerging that few people realize.”Devra Davis MPH, PhD, President of Environmental Health Trust (a local Jackson Hole nonprofit).
